I don't think I have ever seen a bra for our trucks... it'd be the first if you have one!

If you have it waxed, they normally come off pretty good. Just fill up your washer fluid tank...

I stop every night and wash off the frontal areas with just plain warm water on a soft cotton swabbie or cloth - I always figure that the longer they cook on there the harder they are to get off...

RainX the heck out of your windshield also. It will make them easier to come off. Take a squeege and some Windex, or any glass cleaner with ammonia in it, with you and more RainX. I'm a cop in a rural area and battle the bugs every year. This has worked well for me.

During the lovebug season (nasty little bugs that will ruin the paint) I spray the front of the vehicles with WD-40. Doesn't hurt the paint and the bugs wipes off real easily.

Thanks all

My main though was keeping them out of the radiator. Not enough to worry about you think?
